Custom blocks

[DSystem]

I found the problem.

In the Admin-CustomBlocks.php file I changed the line 14 to:

Code Select Expand

function cb_admin_area(&$admin_areas)

and the line 22 to:

Code Select Expand

function cb_modify_modification(&$subActions)

Very good this mode. This of congratulations.

Thants! It is true. This MOD and others of my MODs have errors like this. In my test forum with PHP 4 works.

I will solve these soon.

That's because the mod isn't compatible with PHP 5.4 and up yet.

I'm really interested in this model, rather than having to install a gate.

Can you tell me if the installation should still be going well ? Or should I directly change the theme to add additional blocks?

The MOD install well but you have a problem on your /Themes/default/index.template.php. I suppouse you has another MOD that change this file.

You can to do this:
- Install the MOD
- Apply to source code of /Themes/default/index.template.php the changes that does not have been made in the installation.

OK, I've tried this mod again and the footer seems to be working but not the header, but that's OK. So I want to place Google ad code in the footer. Do I paste the code into the box called Content?

Yes, you can copy Google ad code into Content box.

And replace by

Code Select Expand

// Show the load time?
if ($context['show_load_time'])
echo '

</div>';

Code Select Expand

#footer { background: url(../images/art/botbg.png) repeat-x; height: 55px;}
And replace by

Code Select Expand

This is brilliant, it now works perfectly Is it possible to integrate an image gallery into the footer? How do I do this?

I do not know... May be copied in footer block PHP code that displays images.

Hi, can you tell me how to add my logo to the header block? I uploaded my logo to a folder using FTP - how do I get it into the header?

[Antros22]

very nice mod 

[davidhs]

Hi, can you tell me how to add my logo to the header block? I uploaded my logo to a folder using FTP - how do I get it into the header?

You can create a header block with this BBC content

Code Select Expand

[img]url_to_your_logo[/img]
and check all permissions (Guest:View, User:View, Moderator:View, Administrator:View).

[S Mac]

Thank you, I've just tried this but it doesn't find the image. It just leaves a placeholder. Any ideas?

[davidhs]

Where do you uploaded the logo? I suppouse your forum directory/folder is FORUM.

If your logo is on FORUM/logo.gif, then write

Code Select Expand

[img]url_forum/logo.gif[/img]

If your logo is on FORUM/img/logo.gif, then write

Code Select Expand

[img]url_forum/img/logo.gif[/img]

[S Mac]

I sorted that, thanks. Now I want to give a credit at the bottom of the forum, underneath the SMF copyright part, for a logo and icons I've used on my forum. I want to say "icons by iconfinder.com", with a link to their website. Can you tell me how to do this please?

If you create a footer block, you must copy SMF copyright on the block, so you can create a block below de forum footer (new feature on version 2.1 ) with only your copyright. For example:

Frame: ...
Type: HTML
Content:

Code Select Expand

<a href="...">icons by iconfinder.com</a>
Order: 1
Permissions: Guest:View, User:View, Moderator:View, Administrator:View
Active: Yes
